Jesse Borek 4 years agoJordan Akins Trending Toward Another Absence Sunday
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle, concussion) was held out of practice Thursday, a trend that indicates that he could miss his third consecutive game Sunday when his squad faces Green Bay.

Jesse Borek 4 years agoRussell Wilson Faces Historically Stingy Matchup Sunday
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has made each of the five defenses that he has faced in 2020 look rather pedestrian on his way to becoming the favorite to claim the NFL’s MVP trophy this season. On paper, his matchup Sunday versus Arizona should be another such instance, which is backed up by his gaudy […]
